Lion Batteries – did you know?

Alan Knight answers your most frequently asked questions. Why are batteries different prices with different warranty periods? A battery is made up of lead plates, each plate is then coated in lead paste, every time a battery starts a vehicle some of the paste falls off the plates, when all the paste has gone from the plates the battery will no longer function and has to be replaced. 80% of the cost to produce a battery is down to the price of the lead, so the more lead

in a battery the more expensive it will be, but the longer it will last; this is also how a warranty period is decided. More lead = higher cost = longer life What is the warranty period for Lion batteries? We offer a three year warranty with our Lion automotive batteries... this is the same as Exide Excel, Bosch S3 and Yuasa YBX3 series. How long has the Lion brand been available from ECP?

We have been selling Lion batteries for over 5 years. How do Lion batteries compare with a two year warranty budget brand? The Lion brand will outperform and outlast a 2 year warranty budget brand battery E.g. our best-selling most popular battery Lion 063 is 40Ah. A two year budget warranty 063 is generally between 30Ah and 35Ah... To put this into perspective we have lawnmower batteries at 33Ah.
